As part of Fleet Week activities, the US Marine Corps will conduct the raising of the flag ceremony that runs from noon to 1 p.m. in the cemetery at the intersection of Forest Avenue and Willowbrook Road.

The choir and band from Markham Intermediate School will perform their own piece, “Rolling Taps.”

Special honor will be given to Marjorie Decker Johnson for 30 years of volunteer service with the Friends of Abandoned Cemeteries (FACSI). A plaque commemorating a decade of support provided by Staten Island Fleet Week, the US Navy and the US Marine Corps will be installed in the flag pole garden and a moment of silence will be observed for FACSI members Timothy Last, Christine Farrell-Rumpf and Kenneth Walters.

The event is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.
